Teaching little ones how to spend time with God can feel overwhelming. Where do you start? What do you include? These Time With God Bible lessons were created to give teachers and parents a simple, engaging way to guide preschool and early elementary learners in building daily spiritual habits.
This unit includes six Bible-based lessons, each with clear plans, memory verses, activities, and crafts. Everything is designed to help learners see that they can pray, study, praise, remember, and give — all as ways to spend time with God. These lessons introduce age-appropriate spiritual disciplines that help learners build a strong foundation of faith.
Lesson Structure
Each lesson follows a consistent structure so you can focus on teaching instead of planning. Inside you’ll find:
- Lesson Guide with step-by-step directions
- Memory Verse Tool for simple scripture learning
- Song Book to bring the lesson to life through music
- Whole and Small Group Activities to reinforce the concept
- Crafts and Printables to extend learning at home or in class
This structure makes the unit flexible enough for Bible class, homeschool, or family devotionals.

Through verses like Jeremiah 29:12, learners see that God listens when they pray. Activities and a prayer wheel help them build the spiritual discipline of prayer — knowing what, when, and where to pray.
Time to Study
Psalm 119:105 reminds learners that God’s word is a light. This lesson introduces the habit of Bible study with crafts like bookmarks and sequencing activities.
